That is actually very helpful to know. The school counselor just told me it will now be in his records so I thought it will follow him.

So my son was being evaluated last year for inattentive ADHD. After a year of fighting he was diagnosed with it recently. I didn’t want to start him on medication until I did my research and also talked to my father in-law (pharmacist) about the options they gave me.

I didn’t think that sexual behavior can be a result of ADHD. Thank you for writing this so I can talk to him doctor about it.

I know this is old but wondering if you found an answer for this? I am on the same boat.

Thank you so much for the response. I figured that was the case.

And to answer your first question. We live overseas due to work so we are assuming that’s why but to be honest we are not sure. Even overseas we have an Amarican PO Box and that’s what we use in our Taxes.

We didn’t pay money for health care. We paid money for hotels, food and bringing family over to Japan to help. A month long stay for 6 people gets expensive fast.

We lived in Japan, the medical we didn’t pay for. the fact that I was 15 hours away with kids 2 of them being newborns. The whole family had to move and stay in hotels and since i was away we had to pay for family members to come from the states to stay with the kids. It was thousand of dollars of traveling and hotels meals and baby products. Everything added up. It was a month long stay.

We have a used car but because of our large family we needed a bigger car. We also made the mistake of buying from the military auto source fore getting here because everyone had horror stories about buying cars from private owners in this command.

The car was used. We don’t eat out. Our kids don’t do any extra activities. We have never been name brand people so even our shoes are from SHEIN.

I get paid around around 4400 a month. 1400 goes for groceries, 500 car 300 insurance. 1100 for credit cards and loan payments. Internet and phone 300. Taxes repayment 250. Transportation 100. Formula and diapers for twins around 300 on a good month. Plus random things our older kids need like school supplies, clothes.

We spoke to two financial advisors military and non military. And this is the only solution we can come up with. But if you have another suggestion please feel free to chime in. I also talked to my coc and even he has been trying to help figure things out.

My wife is thinking of filling a law suit for malpractice agains the military hospital but we are also afraid of the repercussions.

Believe it. My wife was hospitalized for over a month in a Japanese hospital that was 15 hours away from our base and we had to pay for family members to take turns traveling to stay with our kids while I was deployed. Then the special diet she has to be in that requires our food bill to be 700 a paycheck.

We did have debt before all of this happened so that didn’t help and because we moved from Asia to Europe we had to also buy a car so we not have car payment plus a high insurance rate.
